Streets brought to standstill for HOURS after suspicious package found outside Jobcentre
Part of Stockport was brought to a standstill as the 'bomb squad' spent hours outside the town's Jobcentre. Police had set up a 100m cordon around Heron House, on Wellington Street, after a suspicious package was found.
"The police have done good, they've got to it. Now we've just got to wait to see the outcome of it. I'm glad they got to it when they did." “Then, around five to 10 mins later, there was a loud bang. Not enough to shake any glass, but it was loud enough to echo around the buildings.” Cameron Egan and Elysha Gill had parked their car inside the Jobcentre as they arrived for a day in the town centre. "We just want to go home," Cameron said.
